So what happened to the boat? Do you have any news? come on rhino... talk with us, we can help you

Still in the works, but been busy with r/l stuff so had to put the project on hold till that's over. Hope to be back working on the project again by the end of next week

Currently in the texturing phase which it has been for quite some time now, there is a hell of a lot of ship to texture and on a pretty large 4096x2048 texture for the main ship (weapons and other systems/components each have their own texture sheets on top of that), and since I'm probably too much of a perfectionist I want to paint down every tiny detail and in exactly the right spot too hehe. Spent quite a few days a couple of weeks ago just working out the exact locations for all the fasting rings on the flight deck used to strap helicopters etc to the deck and making HP models for them, baking them etc, to give you some idea of my perfectionist workflow which is one of the many reasons why it's taking so long hehe
Ignore all the green and purple splodges on the flight deck in the last two editor pics, those are just down to PS DDS compression tools and "hopefully" I should be able to eliminate/reduce that with better DDS compression tools and settings when it comes to final saving.

As for help, tbh not much anyone else can do for me to help with the Frigate itself (there are other projects that can be done thou). Although you could try searching for more refs of this Frigate and especially small, close up shots of areas on the ship but chances are you won't find anything I haven't already got but if you or anyone else is up for that let me know and I'll sort out some kind of system to share refs.

Well while WW2 isn't the only thing in the next update, the Frigate won't be in it, it is still nowhere near finished enough and even if it was finished, it would only further delay the release to integrate it and everything else required at this point.
